Star Trek: Voyager: Season 5

5x05 Once Upon a Time

On one hand that's stupid. I am not a child and I did not ask for these childish stories. That's why that's only a 6/10. On the other hand, Naomi is cute. We have witnessed her birth (twice) and we watch her growing up. That's adorable. Even Neelix and the Doctor are a very likeable godfather and teacher respectively. Naomi's observation about Seven and the Doctor are hilarious. Kids don't beat around the bush. Plus, exploring how to raise children on a starship is classic Star Trek (Jake, Wesley, infamous Captain-Picard-Day). Later, in the show she bonds with many crew members. In particular with Seven. And - as far as I remember - I loved every scene when Naomi interacted with other crew members. Showing the crew bonding and showing them to become a family is something that the show was never able to achieve in season one, two or three. I'm glad that both the A-plot and B-plot both tell this aspect very well. Thus, don't dismiss this childish story too early.
